Platforms
Our platforms aren't standalone events, they're interconnected experiences designed to create maximum impact for entrepreneurs, corporates, and communities.
Each platform feeds into the others, creating a year-round cycle of learning, networking, funding, and recognition.
The Kasi Business Workshop
This is our flagship training platform, hosting hands-on workshops in different townships nationwide every three weeks.
We move beyond theory to deliver practical skills in finance, marketing, and operations that entrepreneurs can implement immediately.
The Kasi Pitching Challenge
Integrated into our Kasi Business Workshops, this platform gives entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their ideas for a share of seed funding.
We provide the capital to turn a great idea into a viable business, with no strings attached.
The Kasi Business Podcast
Now in its second season, our podcast goes deep into the stories, strategies, and challenges of township entrepreneurs.
We share real conversations and practical advice, reaching a dedicated audience of business owners and aspiring founders.
The Township Economy Summit
Our annual summit brings together key stakeholders, corporate leaders, government officials, investors, and trailblazing entrepreneurs, to tackle the big questions and forge the future of South Africa's township economy.
It's a high-level strategic and networking event.

This prestigious gala event is the "Oscars" of the township economy. We shine a national spotlight on the most innovative, resilient, and impactful businesses and entrepreneurs, celebrating their achievements and inspiring future leaders.
The Kasi Food Market
This platform will be a vibrant, family-friendly market experience, showcasing the best of township food, drink, and culinary talent. It’s a space for food entrepreneurs to test products, build a customer base, and grow their brand.
